How can I cook a large omlette in the oven?!
I'm not too good at flipping omlettes in a pan, and besides, cooking in bulk would be a problem!.
Just timings and temperature is fine!.
If any chefs would just run me through how to cook an open omlette in the oven, I'd be grateful!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Pre-heat the grill (broiler) to 180C
Partially cook the omelette in the desired sized fry-pan over medium heat until the bottom part is set!.
Add filling and place under grill until top is set!.
If you are using fillings that require more than a minute or two of cooking they will require heating first!.
You may need to shield the handle!.
The secret to folding is to loosen the whole of the eggs from around the sides and bottom!.
A omelette pan helps, they are more rounded where the sides meet the bottom!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
